Three weeks until the Holidays!

Hello families,

December is here and this is a special time for children as they look forward to Santa's visit and all the excitement of the season. The children were delighted to see the classroom decorated with Holiday decorations on December 1st. It's going to be a fun month!

The children had a wonderful time at the musical "Seussical" and a special thank you to the parent volunteers: the moms of Yoel, Cameron D., Logan, Jacob, Alex P., Ava, Dana and Sarah did a wonderful job.

This week the children made matching mittens (more challenging than it seems!), worked on their Phonics Duotangs (Set 2 for the SKs), decorated the Cat in the Hat's hat, starting learning their new poem about seasons ("Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall"), did their December calendars, and practiced their songs for the Holiday Concert.

Thank you to our other parent volunteers this week: our morning Mystery Reader was Ava's mom, Carly's mom was the morning Reading Club helper, and Anna's mom did the morning bags. Afternoon parents, be sure to sign up for volunteer opportunities in the classroom (Tuesdays for Reading Club, Thursdays for Mystery Reader and Fridays for White Bags and Snuggle Books); the children love to have their parents visit and help! Contact your grade parents Tamara and Simone to sign up.

Have a wonderful weekend!
